On Friday the 16th of March members and friends of the Dutch Chamber met at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm for the Annual Diner. It became a great evening, inspired by the great minds of Nobel Laureates. The Ambassador of the Netherlands and our patron, Mrs. Ines Coppoolse opened the evening at the museum together with Chairman Maarten Merckx with a great speech on the necessity of innovation.

The guests were invited to the tables and served with a Nobel Diner inspired menu and had the opportunity to meet old and new friends. With a fantastic performance of the Adolf Fredriks Kyrkas Kammarkör and an exciting and interesting speech by Tobias Degsell, former curator of the Nobel Museum and Founder of Combiner, the evening became fabulous.Tobias reminded us of the power of creativity. With an expected longer life ahead of us it is important that scientists and the industry work together to make this life as smooth and healthy possible.

Maarten Merckx took the opportunity to thank soon resigning, Honory Consul for Sweden in the Netherlands, Mr. Lukas Joel. Lukas is a great friend of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and Maarten thanked Lukas for his contributions and cooperations over the last few years.

We thank our sponsors Samskip van Dieren, Amgen, Randstad, Berkers & Company and not to forget the organising committee - consisting of Jorien Olthof, Charlotte de Jong and Els Berkers in making this an unforgettable evening.

Keep an eye on the announcement for next year if you missed this year’s Annual Diner. We will be back with another night to remember!​
